Copyright

Again, we had a case about China. This time, it was about a manufacturing company in europe sourcing assembled parts from China. One of it's fears is the chinese habit to copy everything they can get their hands on. The classic total ignorance of stealing someone else's intellectual property "with pride" as they would put it.

The prof made a comment, quoting an executive whose company's product was copied: "for them, the definition of copyright is the right to copy."

I guess that is another definition for copright, as to Free Software Foundation's CopyLeft concept.
